Weather Impacts on Indoor Radon Short-Term Measurements in Switzerland
Atmosphere, 2023 Radon is a natural and radioactively well-known carcinogenic indoor air pollutant. Since 2020, a radon short-term proactive methodology has been proposed by Swiss authorities, which aims to evaluate the probability of overpassing the national reference ...

Characterising the Source of Radon Indoors
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 1984 Average indoor radon concentrations range over more than two orders of magnitude, largely because of variability in the rate at which radon enters from building materials, soil, and water supplies. Determining the indoor source magnitude requires knowledge of the generation of radon in source materials, its movement within materials by diffusion and ...

Indoor - soil gas radon relationshipin the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex
Annals of Geophysics, 2005 The relationship of indoor radon measurements and radon in bedrock was studied in the granitoid Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex (CBPC). The indoor data were linked to vectorised geological and radon risk maps using the coordinates of ...

Using geographic information systems for radon exposure assessment in dwellings in the Oslo region, Norway [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Radon exposures were assigned to each residential address in the Oslo region using a geographic information system (GIS) that included indoor radon measurements. The results will be used in an epidemiologic study regarding leukemia and brain cancer.
